Answer:

A star will not form.

Step-by-step explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

Some of the examples of stars are;

  • Vega.
  • Sun (closest to planet Earth)
  • Antares.
  • Betelgeus.
  • Canopus.

Stars are typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He). The chronological order in which the formation of a star occur are;

1. Gravity pulls gas and dust together to form dense cores.

2. A protostar forms as mass increases.

3. Nuclear fusion begins under high pressure.

Hence, if the cloud does not have enough mass what will happen is that, a star will not form because for the formation of a star to take place, there must be a large increase in the mass of the cloud.
